I saw what I think was a Toyota Grandia today at a set of lights in Calgary. Here is a pic I found on the old interweb:
I didn't think they were able to be imported yet as this model is pretty fresh. I am pretty sure it was this van but it might have been a Nissan van, not sure, it happened pretty fast. Very cool looking, but definitely more for touring than off road. any of you Calgarians seen a van like this?

I think you found it! That looks like the one I saw. I couldn't quite read the letters on the back. Pretty sweet looking van. I love vans.

My other van is a sweet piece of 1985 Volkswagon Vanagon Westfalia. Someday I will own a split but I plan on waiting until they are even more insanely priced. I love throwing money away on my van addiction.RadarGrrl wrote:Fifty years ago, we would all have been driving Type II Volkswagens.CREGAN wrote:I think you found it! That looks like the one I saw.

A split is on my list of someday toys as well...along with a plain ol' Bug, a Karmann Ghia and a Hebmuller.
